The Total Eclipse VN sprite animations look horrid, comparable to South Park cut outs. When they depict two TSF slashing at each other, you only see slash effects with not visible sword. The PC VN have much better TSF combat animation.

They also integrate some videos from the anime, at least for the first half. The VN version had both Stella and VG in a Strike Eagles when Yui was toying with them, but they still briefly used an anime footage with VG in The Active.

Hey there might not be any bonus OVA as one of the shops listed the former live nicovideo broadcast 光線級と行く！帝都巡礼 as the bonus footage for Vol.9. I am not sure whether there will be more for the bonus as the official site did not list anything as a bonus, unless they're too ashamed to admit they are not including new content.

Who knows, the official site might change with the full details after the release date.

Thinking about the Phase 3, I realized there may have been something that hinted towards it being a derivative of the YF-23 in TE. This image came from Altered Fable, I believe and may have been what Kouki intended all along.

Spoiler for From Extraverse:

It makes sense now, those escorts are "Phase 3s", they looked different from F-22s and some said that they had YF-23 characteristics.

Just finished playing the TE VN, though I skipped many bits. The last battle around Evensk Hive was portrayed as a dramatic poignant war story, at least to the same level as the final arc of Alternative. I have to especially commend on the voice acting of the face-less bridge operators.

The best part of the entire game was when they reported the status of humanity's trump card on orbit.

The Total Eclipse does get revealed.

For those concerned about the character relationships more than the story, I am kind of disappointed that Yui got side lined. I think they might make a short story of her in Operation Ouka.

The complete lack of UN F-16s, all the ones terrorists used are American colored and wielding the WS-16C instead of the AMWS-21.

Even after the terrorist arc, the Shiranui Second is still occasionally seen using the WS-16C.

Idar 2-4 had Su-27s when they were attacked by MiG-29s. All other scenes had them consistently using Su-37s.

The XFJ-01B decal does not exist.

No TSF sprites of non-Total Eclipse debuted TSFs, such as the Phantoms and F-14Ex of the other test flights. Graf Flight did have the Fulcrum since it was an originally TSF introduced in TE.

The credits are quite short reflecting the their small development team. Miyata Sou was absent on the list. I really do like his artwork and I've recently just received my copy of one of his Age Store exclusive artbooks. Sharon's cockpit scene was definitely not drawn by him.

In conclusion, Muv-Luv is still great, and it is worth spending money on.

There is still the manga and the light novel, but it will take a while for them to reach beyond the terrorist arc, so there is a high chance that they'll quit before they could redeem TE with an extended ending.
